1.1 Introduction
Advantech's SOM-ETX form factor System On Module provides a scalable solution that meets customers' advanced CPU and application development needs. The SOM-4450 incorporates a low power, fanless GX1-300 MHz processor that has become the embedded integrators' processor of choice. It uses a NS CS5530A chipset as its VGA/LCD controller, with single 18 bit LVDS interface and 64-bit graphics engine. The CS5530A display controller (LCD and CR T display support) allows sharp and clear LCD screen resolutions up to 1024 x 768 and CRT resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ 16 colors. Combined with the CS5530A system chipset is a RealT ek R TL 8139 ethernet chipset. It supports all functions of an AT-compatible industrial computer. There is one SODIMM socket that supports 16 MB to 128 MB synchronous DRAM. The small size (95 mm x 114 mm) and use of four high capacity connectors based on the proven ETX form factor, allow the SOM-ETX modules to be easily and securely mounted onto a customized solution board or our standard SOM-DB4400 development board.
Many gains were made by using the Geode™ GX1 processor. The GX1 processor provides the lowest power consumption combined with high speed 586 processing power. This GX1 processor also supports most popular web plug-ins and leverages existing software and hardware investments. Onboard features include an ethernet interface, socket for CompactFlash™ card , Enhanced IDE interface capable of Ultra DMA transfer protocol, one parallel port, two serial ports and a PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface.

Programming the Watchdog Timer
The SOM-4450 is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
A.1 Programming the watchdog timer
T o program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a value of time interval. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3E (hex), and the related time interval is 1 sec. to 62 sec.
Data Time Interval 01 1 sec. 02 2 sec. 03 3 sec. 04 4 sec.
••
••
•• 3E 62 sec.
20 SOM-4450 User's Manual
After data entry , your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443 (hex).
The following example shows how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC:
1 0 REM W atchdog timer example program 2 0 OUT &H443, data REM Start and restart the watchdog 3 0 GOSUB 1000 REM Y our application task #1, 4 0 OUT &H443, data REM Reset the timer 5 0 GOSUB 2000 REM Y our application task #2, 6 0 OUT &H443, data REM Reset the timer 7 0 X=INP (&H443) REM, Disable the watchdog timer 80 END 1000 REM Subroutine #1, your application task

LVDS Connection
This appendix contains information concerning the L VDS installation and pin assignments.
C.1 LVDS Introduction
When you mention the impressive data rate of 400 Mbps at 15 meters for L VDS, you immediately realize how significant the differences are between analog and digital interfaces. There are several other factors other than significantly increased data transfer rate and image quality that make L VDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) very attractive to industrial users. One is that L VDS drivers and receivers maintain excellent signal levels and performance while operating on supply voltages as low as 2 V. This low voltage allows LVDSs to operate independently from the main power supply voltage. Another factor is that L VDS drivers and receivers have a low swing voltage. This voltage is typically around 345 mV. This allows LVDS devices to achieve high speeds while using relatively little power. This low differential swing voltage together with self-canceling EMI, reduces EMI problems significantly. This is especially important in space­critical applications. This is also why L VDS has already been widely used in Notebook computer panel connections.
All Digital Benefits
No matter which digital standard an end user uses for their industrial applications, it will have to provide the following criteria. Be compati­ble so that system and display products from different suppliers can be made available in an open market. Become a standard for the electronics and PC industry. Be able to transmit data over standard twisted pair cables as well as fiber optic. Maintain a low bit error rate for high quality image while operating at a very low power level. Be scalable.
Expanded Applications
With flat panel displays already a common part of our everyday lives at work, home and industrial/commercial settings, deciding on a standard is a monumental decision that will affect all our lives. Engineers will have to champion their cause by applying both of these digital panel technologies to many practical products. Thus enabling the end user, whether it be in an industrial setting or a consumer setting, to benefit from both of these technologiesprocessor of choice.
